Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to assess the side effects of an upgrade of the
package python-biopython to 1.79 to its reverse dependencies.
Pseudo-excuses look alright, except for ncbi-acc-download [1].

The full log [2] shows variations around the following symptom:

        __________________ test_download_wgs_parts_supercontig_retry

                cfg = Config(format="genbank")
                supercontig = open(full_path('supercontig.gbk'), 'rt')
                req.get(ENTREZ_URL, response_list=[

                ])
            
                outhandle = wgs.download_wgs_parts(supercontig, cfg)

To be honest, I don't know whether this is caused by a bug in
biopython, or if it could be normal from ncbi-acc-download to
issue a slightly different output.  Testing against biopython
1.78 does not raise that issue.

Since the test suite is run at build time, ncbi-acc-download
would also fail to build from source if python-biopython were to
be upgraded, hence the tag.  Note that I think the package
downloads resources from the Internet during the test at build
time too, so would might be a serious policy violation, but I
haven't checked for sure yet.

Kind Regards,
